As you can tell, being on holidays still has given me more than ample time to think too much. Work is a good thing for me in that regard, it keeps me busy, focussed and out of the realm of imagination and thought too much. If I had not been a teacher, I think I might have really enjoyed being a full time artist- writer, photographer or movie director, as I could walk around with a camera or notebook looking at everything and thinking about it. And speaking of movies, last night I went with "the girls", my pretty new, Yarmouth crew of the most wonderful friends I wish I had much early than this year. Natasha, Sandy and Gabrielle (there were a few other fab gals who couldn't make it too, so don't think I don't mean you too!) met me at the theatre for Robin Hood, or should I say "the Russell Crowe movie"... I warned them before the show that I had been planning all day that one of them would be my photo of the day. At first, they were a bit shy to indulge me so I took a few shots of them as a group, (knowing that I have to save the other two for another day so I don't run out of "beautiful people" in my next 90 or so days of being home!!) After the first shot, they were eagerly jumping in front of waste bins asking for pictures there and in front of movie posters for pictures there. I love their enthusiasm, energy and sense of humour! I don't think we ever get together without me leaving with slightly sore cheeks from laughing and smiling. Friends like this are the kind that everyone needs, the uncomplicated, fun loving kind of girls that you KNOW that you will have a good time with every time you are together. They are the kind of gals that make you realize that the Sex and the City style friendships CAN happen in real life!
Check out "Sporty Spice" in the middle showing off her Ninja moves!! XO!
Did I mention we spend a lot of time laughing when we are all together!
It was a tough choice between the photos, so I put up one of the silly ladies together. My person for today is Sandy, since I decided to use the ever so cute pictures of her giving Russell some loving. I met her during NS Music week in November. She had been a volunteer as well, and we met at the "after-party" where all the volunteers got to party with the "music celebrities" and have a private show of sorts. I knew Natasha (also Sandy's friend) a little better from the bank, so when I didn't really know too many people in the crowd, I hung near them. It turned out they were having a challenge to see which one could collect more "face time" from the "celebrities" (sorry for the overuse of quotation marks, I don't really know how to aptly describe this most interesting of contests any better)... I won't explain the contest any more but it included Ryan Cook, Joel Plaskett and I also think Matt Minglewood was included, for what reason I am not too sure!? We laughed very hard that night, I knew from that point we'd have to hang out more. We are all music junkies so since that point we've gone to concerts, shows, Karaoke, and played pool once. Sandy is an incredible high energy gal, a fantastic mother, very stylish dresser(especially when it comes to shoes, lol) and a very talented photographer Enjoy the photos, next time I will bring the lens that I can actually use the flash with!
"Now playing, Sandy and Russell!" :)
"Grrrr", she couldn't stop herself from clawing Russell!!
Theme Song for today: Crazy On You by Heart (Sandy introduced me to this song, someday we'll be rockstars and play it!)
